We’ve got Tech Cocktail, CreativeMornings and soon Startup Grind.
Aimed at shining a light on the local movement, Startup Grind is in 85 cities in 35 countries, including Silicon Valley, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, Singapore, Dubai, Stockholm, Tel Aviv and London. Jason Ibarra, a South Florida digital marketing entrepreneur and leader, worked to bring a Startup Grind chapter here.
Startup Grind is designed to educate, inspire and connect entrepreneurs and will hold monthly events in which an entrepreneur, investor or leader is interviewed. The conversations will be videoed and released on the global Startup Grind website, powered by Google for Entrepreneurs.
Notable guests globally have included Clay Christensen (Innovator's Dilemma), Steve Blank, Ben Silbermann (Pinterest), Jessica Livingston (Y Combinator), Bill Maris (Google Ventures), Vinod Khosla (Kholsa Ventures), Dave McClure (500 Startups), Ali Pincus (One Kings Lane), Naval Ravikant (AngelList), Tony Conrad (About.me), Jeff Clavier (SoftTech VC), and Kevin Rose (Digg, MILK).
Ibarra plans to have the first event from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. May 13 at The LAB Miami and interview South Florida entrepreneurs, investors and supporters.
“My motivation for doing this is to give Miami tech a global spotlight, a megaphone if you will, to get our talent, determination and successes known around the world. Startup Grind is here as a tool to help all of Miami's techpreneurs,” he said.
